Leki Makalu FX Carbon Compact, Natural Carbon/Grey Green/White

Experience optimal packing efficiency and premium trail ergonomics on demanding mountain expeditions with the Leki Makalu FX Carbon Compact trekking poles. Specifically engineered for shorter hikers or those looking to save maximum space, this refined five-section folding model offers a reduced adjustment range while retaining all the elite features of the standard Makalu series. The upper shaft sections are crafted from pure carbon fibre to ensure an incredibly responsive, lightweight swing weight, while the lowest segment utilises high-strength aluminium to protect against sharp rock impacts. This advanced hybrid design delivers exceptional vibration dampening and rock-solid stability across technical backcountry terrain.

• Carbon & Aluminium Hybrid Chassis: Pure carbon fibre upper sections minimise total weight, paired with a heavy-duty HTS 6.5 aluminium lower segment to guard against abrasive rock strikes.
• Five-Section FX Folding Design: An ultra-compact folding mechanism allows the poles to collapse down to a pack size of just 40 cm, fitting effortlessly inside smaller daypacks or travel luggage.
• Aergon Air Grip Technology: An advanced hollow-core handle that reduces weight while providing expansive, supportive surfaces and a fully rubberised grip head for absolute control during steep downhill descents.
• Extended Grip Perimeter: Incorporates a long foam handle extension below the main head, allowing you to choke down on the shaft for immediate stability on steep uphill gradients without adjusting the pole length.
• Speed Lock 2 Plus System: A secure, external lever clamp enabling rapid, intuitive length configurations between 100 cm and 120 cm, custom-tailored for shorter users or compact packing needs.
• ELD External Locking Device: A user-friendly, high-performance locking button that releases the folding pole tension instantly with a single press, collapsing the system smoothly for rapid storage.
• Lock Security Strap Skin 4.0: An ultra-lightweight, highly breathable safety wrist loop that provides seamless contact comfort and adjusts continuously to reduce hand fatigue.
• Trekking 2.0 Baskets & Carbide Tips: Tool-free interchangeable mud baskets prevent sinking into loose scree, paired with robust carbide flex tips for precise placement and optimal traction on wet rock or ice.
